What are some of the highlights of what he has to say?

The review is actually for the Light Schooner. The SHS is called "His
and Hers Schooners" in BWAOM.

O'Brien's commentary also mentions the cat schooner modification of this
venerable design first built by Jon Kolb, a frequent correspondent to
this group.

I'm confused. John is right, I went back and looked at Mike O'B's art on
"Scooner" and there's no mention of Single Handed. I'm 3 hrs from my
"BWOM" but it seems to me that the last time I looked at His and Her,
there wasn't any mention of Single Handed. Now Susan mentions "Light
Schooner" which rings a bell. I am familiar with Jochems because I'm
interested in the Halifax Explorer/ Delaware Trawler, optimistically,
several months away. In the mean time I'll stick to the schooners that
carry beer. Clyde

Scooner is the name of a specific boat. The design is in Payson's Build the
New Instant Boat as Light Schooner. It is 23.5 feet long and has a transom.
His and Her Schooners and Singlehander Schooner are the same, 19.5 feet long
and double ended. SHS is how Payson lists the plans on his site
Instantboats.com.

I want to apologize again for muddying the waters here. I think I must have
crossed the rig of WDJ with the hull of BirdwatcherII. As I implied before,
I should not rely on memory.
